A Study clarifies that the number of twitter followers has got nothing to do with the number of followers!

Previously, a person’s influence on Twitter was thought to correlate directly to the number of followers. However, the myth has been clearly uprooted now! Since, IT is clear now that advertisers even pay popular Tweeters to post ads in their Tweets. But, according to a new study having many followers does not make a Tweeter influential and could not be described as an effective social media marketing strategy. Taking from the study, it supports the fact that the number of Twitter followers is meaningless. “Popular users who have a high in degree [number of followers] are not necessarily influential in terms of spawning retweets or mentions,” Cha writes, quoted in the Harvard Business Review.

One cannot really rely on the huge number of twitter followers to guarantee good business for oneself. Various other factors need to be considered while using twitter for business.
